Coverage Paraprofessional

Coverage paraprofessionals will provide direct service to individual students and classrooms on an as needed basis. The Coverage Paraprofessional may be assigned to substitute for one-on-one and substantially separate classroom paraprofessionals. Coverage Paraprofessionals are expected to participate in the daily instruction and activities of the school, program and class to which the student is assigned. Beyond the normal classroom activities, the duties of a Coverage Paraprofessional correspond directly to the needs of the student. Coverage Paras will be deployed by the OSESS and will be assigned to schools across the district. They are required to work schedules with varying start and end times.

Students who require a One-to-One Paraprofessional may have disabilities/diagnoses that include pervasive developmental disorder, autism, Aspergers' Syndrome, Williams' Syndrome, physical handicaps, multiple handicaps, blindness, deafness, blind/deaf, Tourettes' Syndrome...
